Would it though?
If the requirement is “worth paying 50% more for than the average worker” then instead of picking someone worse for cheaper at random then you’re making sure that only jobs where there likely isn’t an adequate supply for due to how bell curves work,
The H1-B visa is fundamentally broken (or working exactly as intended, depending on how you look at it) though, so you apply for just under 10x as many as you need and end up with the number you want.
It’s not Microsoft’s fault the US Government is actively encouraging importing cheaper, average employees by using a lottery rather than filtering based on “you must earn n% more than the median income in that sector” or a similar metric to avoid reducing wages for Americans and companies using them to cut costs…
That’s one interpretation and implementation of free speech. The EU define it as “freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.” which would be very easy to argue includes public authorities altering the legality of receiving and/or imparting information via AI.
Where’s the AI artwork?
yep, that would pass the criteria
Plausibly it’s trying to minimise land area with some degree of contiguity so it’s not just picking random cities though. India’s economy isn’t much bigger than the 5th or 6th economy while having substantially more territory and population.
Very good point, but oxygen is very abundant and you’ll more than likely already have oxygen generators with a level of redundancy, or be in an atmosphere with oxygen.
Also for load balancing you could constantly be splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, then react them back into water when you need a large amount of energy at once as an alternative to electrical batteries which degrades less over time, if heat is all you want at least.
All I’m saying is there’s so many applications that we’re never going to get to a level of 0.
The problem is time.
You’re just considering human spaceflight. Keeping humans alive and equally importantly sane for years is very different to sending a probe somewhere, and we’ve been getting better at the latter
Nope.
I love induction hobs, electric cars & planes, xenon spacecraft and all that, but even if we get to interstellar travel, there’s going to be a frontier where people are going to be using the lowest maintenance, easiest way to generate immediate heat, even if it’s from solar/fusion powered hydrogen or ethanol generators. It’s just a lot easier to store and release small but much larger than instantaneous generation amounts of energy as flammable substances than in batteries or pumped storage or whatever else.
If we don’t get to interstellar travel, I expect we’ll still have the same in remote regions on earth/our solar system.
Burning things for heat is never going away as long as humans are around, there’s always going to be someone “off-grid” which means you’re more than likely gonna be burning something for cooking and warmth (ie heat)
nah unfortunately not from the looks of things, there’s some places which definitely had mad cow disease that aren’t coloured, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual map is still very correlated
there’s a gap on both, just in different places and you can get from one to the other just by sliding. The constraints are elsewhere so wouldn’t allow you to twist.
It is a different definition, but it’s the same unit… it’s also more like saying “that ball of yarn is 10 metres” - the ball itself isn’t 10 metres long in any dimension, but the meaning is clear given the context, as it would if you said “it’s 0.05 metres”. By having two meanings distinguishable by context, it seems like two definitions to me.
Does that mean fudging rolls is basically the RPG equivalent of “mining off camera”?
Hey, sometimes they like to overthrow a beloved monarchy and install a dictatorship, just to spice things up every so often
There’s “everything goes exactly as planned until one player derails the whole session unhindered by rolls or turns” rules-light and “let things flow more naturally and allow things outside the rules if everyone thinks they add to the story” rules-light though…
Personally I much prefer the presence of rules which can be followed if convenient or desired, or ignored if you’d rather, but it is also equally valid to want to do collaborative storytelling/investigation without being derailed by bad rolls, I just know that dealing with setbacks and things not going to plan (which is different to things not succeeding in a pre-planned manner, but again equally valid, along with everything going well if you’d rather) is probably my favourite part
Yeah, it’s a classic of locking you in and hiking up the prices, and the people capable of porting those sheets are probably way too overworked dealing with supporting the vast majority who have no idea how they work to spend time on it (or getting fired by Elon for not doing anything while being the single block that supports the tower)
It sucks, but I wouldn’t give up on trying to get them to convert, just be aware that it’s very possible that this will be one of the biggest technical (as opposed to administrative) blocks.
Most users of word & powerpoint are fairly basic users, but if you’re using excel for work then there’s a surprisingly high likelyhood you’re using a sheet written by a wizard with arcane skills in it with the number of VB macros, pivot tables, and things most people don’t even know exist.
Even if you’re just a user and not creating them, and their functionality would better work in a dedicated program or a database, chances are it’d still break unless you’re very lucky.
Looking in that thread it seems to be largely small scale/fine tuning where the data is cherrypicked… they’re not considering the corporations which create the models they’re finetuning in the first place
Us politics isn’t about economics anyway, especially when you’ve got Republicans raising taxes sky high and restricting free trade. It’s about social and cultural issues more than ever these days.
I don’t mind strategic combat (I play Civ, BG3 on harder difficulties) but I hate grinding combat and play those games on easy.
What that means is I don’t play walking simulators. If I’m railroaded into a story, the combat better be damn good or I’m refunding the game or at best uninstalling it. I’d rather pay $100 for something like the outer worlds with a really interactive and replayable story than $20 for something like greedfall where it’s just a tv show with spamming buttons every so often.
